We performed a comparison between AWS Backup and Commvault Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Backup solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The auto-scaling feature and the time efficiency of setting up AWS Backup are the most valuable aspects for us."
"The most valuable features of AWS Backup are point-in-time recovery and support resources."
"It works well as a backup and as a service."
"The solution has an effective overwrite feature."
"When I was using an on-premises backup, there was an external hard drive or something like that. I had a backup server, but I had a few problems related to transfer when I had to restore something that I have deleted. I had to wait for after-office hours to do something like that, but now I just have to send a mail. Within one hour, I have my restored file."
"What I like about AWS Backup is its simple approach to a complex problem."
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"It's a complete software that can protect all the main applications. Perhaps that's the feature I like most. The integration with the NetApp and other apps is also very nice."
"We switched to Commvault because we were looking to centralize management. This reduced IT administrator time as well as providing stability and reliability for data backups in a single console."
"I like the product because of its simplicity and the fact that it provides one single interface for managing everything, including storage, data, and policies."
"The solution is scalable."
"The product has the best features for scaling up and administering all the solutions from a single platform."
"The solution includes the best compatibility metrics for integration and they are managed by Google support."
"The most valuable features of Commvault Hyperscale X are the full responsibilities inclined in conversion with high responsibility rates."
"We use Commvault Command Center for backups and restores and for the creation of new clients. We use it for other functionalities as well. In terms of VMware, I can go directly to the Command Center, enter VMware, and I can search it directly. Command Center is very useful and it can be used for more advanced techniques."
"When it comes to encrypting data, it is not so convenient."
"The solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."
"The notifications on the backup and on the mobile app could be more useful. If they could arrange notes or notifications properly and offer services for managing it in our region, it would be helpful for us."
"AWS Backup could improve because you cannot use Glacier or anything but EFS."
"For additional functionalities, it should be more intelligent, like more AI-capabilities."
"If AWS Backup were a hybrid solution that also supported on-premises backups then it would be very helpful, especially if you are doing a migration to the cloud."
"It requires a lot of time to connect the snapshot, identify the files, and restore a single file manually."
"There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status."
"Improved documentation and user training resources could contribute to a smoother onboarding process and more effective utilization of the platform's capabilities."
"Support for this product needs to be improved because I have seen a couple of cases where it is taking more than the required time to solve issues."
"They can always improve the interface design to make it easier. Sometimes, you need to click two or three times to do something. They should look at what tabs are used most and make them more accessible, to cut the time it takes to get to that information."
"Its technical support could be better."
"What I need is deeper CLI documentation for both QCommand and SQL queries."
"When you deploy Complete Data Protection for past services, it's more complicated because you cannot directly back up from the previous service host. We have to build a proxy server, like a middleware, to directly access the past database server. It's complex and hard for beginners to figure out."
"One issue we face is the complexity of the console. That could be improved on. It takes users time to get familiar with Commvault. On average, it takes our customers between one and three months to learn it. The console and the way you configure Commvault have very advanced settings. It takes time to understand how it works."
"Commvault likes to be ahead of the game when it comes to merging with other platforms, but sometimes it's before they have the solution truly baked in. Office 365 is an example. I feel that my company might be a litmus test for their solution, because we have such a large environment. Some of the promised solutions that we received from Commvault were more like testing solutions. They weren't really validated, meaning they were possibilities. There have been a lot of hot fixes for the solution that we're using right now, more than we expected."
